Ribeena Gorse-Jones is a wealthy elderly lady from Haltwhistle, in Northumberland, England. She is married to Henry Gorse-Jones, a relationship marked by a constant nagging of one another.
Mrs. Gorse-Jones dislikes social climbers and her vigilance against them can only be compared to her husband's keen lookout for threats to Great Britain and King George V following his military service in India.[1]
In 1912, the Gorse-Joneses boarded the RMS Titanic, and were assigned cabin A-19. They met Frank Carlson when he stumbled into them and trod on Mr. Gorse-Jones's toe on the Grand Staircase or just outside the Elevator.
Later on, during the sinking, the couple was shocked at the hubbub and lapse of social order. Mrs. Gorse-Jones was particularly abhorred by the presence of people "not dressed for first cabin" in what was clearly First Class territory. However, after a brief chitchat with Carlson, she thought she had heard running water, and urged her husband to go towards the lifeboats. The couple was offered a seat in one of the first few boats, and asked Carlson if he would join them.

Notes and references[]
- ↑ A brief background description of the Gorse-Joneses on the now defunct Cyberflix website mentioned that "Mr. Gorse-Jones served his country in India and continues to keep a keen lookout for threats to Great Britain and King George V. Mrs. Gorse-Jones maintains an equal vigilance against social climbers at their country estate in Haltwhistle and onboard the Titanic."
